Is your family history well documented enough to be printed into a book for others to read? Did you know that the cost of printing a family history book fluctuates depending upon a number of factors? In order to estimate the publishing/printing cost, genealogists need to consider a couple of things. Let us discuss the things that you need to be sure of before you seek quotes from printing companies. Estimating the Printing Cost of a Family History Book Here is a list of things genealogists need to be sure of before asking printing professionals to print a family history book: ·Total number of pages to be printed In order to estimate for the right number of pages, genealogists should take the finished manuscript with them to the printing company. Mark the places for photos, take account of introductory and appendix pages as well. ·Number of copies to be printed Determine whether you want to release the book for a large audience, distribute it among relatives or print an exclusive copy for a special someone. Most printing companies turn down orders that are under 200 copies, whereas Documedia caters to even single book printing needs. Print on demand services can print any number of copies for you while setting reasonable quotes. ·Designing the family history book Before contacting a printing company and discussing the features you want in the book in detail, determine the main designing details. Decide whether 20lb paper, which may discolor within 50 years, would work fine for you or whether you want to preserve the family history for generations to come with a 60lb high quality paper. Also, determine how many photographs are required to be printed in the book. Choose between black & white and color photograph printing. Not only do black and white photos copy better, they cost less too.
